all the umlauts are back, but the gallery is a bit messed up and as soon as I use the pagination to move to page 2 (e.g.) i get following error message:

“Default Gallery Type Template

This is the default gallery type template, located in:
/var/www/web1001/html/perschmannaxel/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/nextgen_gallery_display/templates/index.php.

If you’re seeing this, it’s because the gallery type you selected has not provided a template of it’s own. ”

Axel – the default gallery template problem is a known one we’re working on. We haven’t had anyone else report the issue with characters (and we’ve had a lot of reports), so I suspect it’s something local to your instance.

Any chance you could quickly deactivate all other plugins but NextGEN for a brief moment and see if the issues goes away? If so, you can just immediately reactivate them all and then try one by one until you find the culprit.

Obvious NG is partly the culprit, we’re just trying to understand why this would be happening for you and not others, and we’re seeing a lot of plugin conflicts.

I also created a thread because of encoding problems. Strange enough, that I have the false encodings only on Wptouch mobile posts with galleries on them. The desktop view and post without galleries are ok.

I also have the same encoding problem.
All was fine with WP 3.6 and NG 1.9.13.
When I updated NG to version 2, the page where the gallery is located appears with broken accents (also WordPress header, not only image captions).
Waiting for a solution…

Hey all – we did not get to the encoding issue in 2.0.7, but it’s at the very top of this list right now. If anyone is still running 2.0.0 or 2.0.7 and has this problem, can you consider submitting a bug report with any login credentials?

Hi all: we are working on this issue right now. If anyone else is willing to submit a bug report with WordPress and FTP credentials, I’ll look for your report and get the details over to the developers immediately:
